About Hydrowear
Hydrowear is a Dutch workwear manufacturer founded in 2001 and based at Emmen in the north-east Netherlands. It has built its name on one problem that most workwear handles badly: staying dry through a long shift outdoors without ending up soaked from the inside instead.
From Hydrowear we stock the Ursum SNS hi-vis waterproof trousers. They are made from Hydrowear's Simply No Sweat (SNS) fabric, a highly breathable 210 gsm polyester laminate, and are certified to EN 343 Class 3:3 for waterproofing and breathability and EN ISO 20471 Class 1 for high visibility. They have an elasticated waist with a draw cord and a mesh polyester lining, in orange or saturn yellow.
Class 1 trousers worn with a Class 2 hi-vis jacket can make up a Class 3 outfit when the manufacturer has certified that combination — see our hi-vis classes guide. For other options, see our hi-vis trousers.
There is currently 1 product from Hydrowear in the catalogue, covering clothing, trousers and workwear, from £63.25 ex VAT. Everything is available on business terms, with trade pricing that improves with volume. Orders over £100 ex VAT are delivered free, and most stocked lines dispatch for fast delivery.
